Welcome to

A Floridian has been picked to head a nationwide education policy council.

Dr. Ed Moore is the current president of Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida. He’s a member of the Florida Higher Education Coordinating Council. This week he was selected to Chair the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities State Executives. Moore says chairing the board will allow him to share Florida’s policies with other states and bring fresh ideas to Tallahassee.

“What happens here and what we do here in Florida is respected around the country and sometimes they want to copy us and sometime they do some things we want to copy here,” said Moore.

The board meets in Washington, which means Moore will be splitting time between DC and Tallahassee.
